Favorite Bootsy Albums I really favor The Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy album from 1977 and the Player Of The Year album from 1978. Those two are actually his essential recordings.. Check me out and add me on:

I TOTALLY agree, though I would give a slight edge to Player Of The Year.. simply for the BRILLIANT funk of ROTO-ROOTER (baba.. troubleshooter) these 2 albums clearly are the best of what Bootsy has done - in terms of the music & lyrically. I play these 2 albums more than I play anything else by Bootsy.. I'll see you tonight..

Stretchin' Out is my fave, followed hella closely by "Aaah, The Name Is Bootsy". Those two, to me, are the two best written, and best produced albums by him. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I think all of the first 3 are great! Not sure which of them is my favorite...but it gets kinda shaky after those 3....
  
also, for a good idea of his live shows at his peak, check out the CD Live In Louisville, '78:

All don't know what it is, it seems like I keep listening to the Glory Be Da Funk's On Me: The Bootsy Collins Anthology in my stereo. Anybody have this collection?

"Lord Of The Harvest" - Zillatron and Buckethead getting into hyperspace.
"Bootsy-Alive 4 1995" - All the hits live with Bernie on synth. "Blasters Of The Universe" - Didn't like it at 1st, but now I love it.(disc 1) "Bootsy - Player Of The Year" - Just for the cut out shades alone..classic!! "Stretchin' Out" - A true funk classic. "Ultra Wave" - New Wave Bootsy. | |
